The Jeremy Laing Spring 2013 Line is Athletic

Jeremy Laing's Spring 2013 collection is full of texture and intense layering. Laing's pieces evoke images of a posh, athletic duel if there ever was one with tribal-esque components and airy fabrics, accommodating the swift movements that one would find in a standard James Bond film.

Laing stuck to a neutral color palette for his Spring 2013 line. The charcoal hues and off-whites reflect his recent trip to New Orleans where he spent time on a bayou excursion. Coined by the designer as "swamp deco," he adds to a common craving for minimalism and simplicity in the realm of ready-to-wear.

Embellishment is the word that best characterizes these ensembles. While the pieces are at base basic, they are intensely decorated with buttoned pouches and dangling pockets.
